We're delighted to announce the official release of our latest patch, v1.0a. Okay, it's been out for a little while now , but we decided to wait until it was up here on WoG, the community where we came into being, before we made an official announcement.
We've fixed some final bugs in the scripts and added a new, optional Alternative Balancing System, for those who want to try Gothic II again but with some more flavor to the gameplay. You don't have to install it if you want to play "classic" NotR, but if you're itching for a new game experience with the same game, you might want to give it a shot.
Full details are found in the Readme, available during the setup and in the /ICP directory generated by the Setup. Enjoy our newest release!
Best Wishes,
The Ironkeep Studios Team
UPDATE:
We have thrown together an experimental hotfix for sufferers of buggy fight AI. The problem seems to have been resolved now, but please let us know if you run into further complications. And for now, enjoy .
Update 6/30/09: New Mirrors added.
Update 10/20/09: Just to address a few concerns I read on another board, I highlighted the words optional and you don't have to install it with regards to Alternative Balancing. Just to reiterate, it's entirely optional, and you can fully enjoy the fixes and features we added without the Alternative Balancing system.
Update: 10/22/09: Restore point for bugged Fight added.
Upadte: 3/12/10: 1.0b (Hotfix 2) released.

Go talk to Hakon, he should be selling a new sword called the Fencing Sabre. If that's in, the mod works. Also, check Vatras' dialogue. Upon saying "Good, let us summarize", the subtitle was in German, that should no longer be the case.

Do I need to download v1.0 before downloading v1.0a?
And what's the Alternative Balancing System exactly? It sounds cool.
you need to download only this version because it contains the changes of the older versions and alternative balancing increases the monsters toughness, ads new weapons, balances the Claw of Beliar and the LP costs and some other things, download and read the readme or change log
@Niborius- Try replacing the .exe with the report version. If that doesn't solve the problem, it should have at least have a more detailed error log. so we can see exactly what's causing it in the code.
After this, try uninstall and reinstall your copy of Gothic II + NOTR. Make sure it works, then install the ICP v1.0a.

What's the report version? And about the error log, I can't find it. The readme said this:
- error log of GOTHIC II after a crash (sehr wichtig)
(will be copied into the file SYSTEM/GOTHIC2.RPT after a crash)
But in fact, there's no gothic2.rpt at all in there.
I already tried to re-install though, but same result..
Nevermind, I bought Gothic 2 Gold yesterday and it's working fine now, but thanks for the help nonetheless!
One more question: Do you think you will be able to fix the fps lag bug in future patches?
Optimization and memory management improvement is something we looked/are looking into, certainly. Some issues can be fixed to an extent by messing with .ini values, others not so much . That's the stuff we will try to fix.

Good to hear that!
I did all kind of things in the .ini file but my fps stays around 22 fps in khorinis at full view distance (I did a test one time to see if anything changes if I changed some values in the ini file)
There's also another bug with the camera in widescreen: If you load a game the screen is very wide, when you talk to someone the aspect ratio changes to the right one.
At any rate, I'm very glad you guys are making these patches. It makes the game even more fun. Any idea when the next patch will be released?
